THE BALLONA DREDGER.
1t starts ON Its way to the
Future Port,

Future Port.
Yesterday the great dredger which
has been built for the Ballona Harbor
Improve ment Company started on its
way from San Francisco to our new
port. If all accounts are true, this is
the largest dredger ever built on the
coast and great things are confidently
expected from its work. The San
Francisco Post speaks as fol ows of its
test:
Yesterday afternoon James Camp
bell, president of the Ballona Harbor
and Improvement Company, made a
test of the new mammoth dredger, La
Ballona, recently built by Alex Hay
for his company. The test was made
at the foot OF Fifth street in the pres
ence of q number Of interested gentle
men. Among those present were ::
Superintendent j. A. Fillmore
and E. F. Gerald of the
Southern Pacific Company, E. II.
Boyd, one of the directors of the COM
pany, Juan Bernard, the millionaire
of Los Angeles, Louis Messmer, of
Los Angeles, and c. w. Mead, a
prominent stockholder. At 8 P. NJ.
the machinery, which was made by
the Golden State and Miners Iron
Works, was started, and excepting the
slight friction necessarily incl
dental to the first opera
tion of new machinery, everything
worked satisfactorily. There are two
engines on board, one to work the
pump and another the cutter. The
cutter is cylindrical contrivance
eight feet long and six feet in diame-
ter, with knives fixed spirally on the
circumference. This is attached to
the end Of the framework or ladder
which lowers under the water. AS
the cutter cuts the mud it is sucked
up by an S-foot pump and discharged
through 15-inch pipe on either side of
the dredger. The dredger can dredSe a
depth of 32 feet, and while working
on the center spud can dredge a width
of ninety feet. 1t has q working ca.
pacity of 5000 yards in twelve hours.
Sixty per cent. of its discharge is mud
and the balance water. La Ballona
will be towed down to Ballona Har-
Dor, the proposed terminus of the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Rail-
road, early next week and commence
dredging the harbor there. President
Campbell says it is the intention of
his company to place on line of
steamers from Ballona to this port.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1887-07-14
Another Projected Harhor,

EDITORS HERALD :-lnere are com
pensatiOns for most of the labors done
in some way, however, we may doub
their justice or equity. The crucia
tests applied by science to the adjust
ment of the affairs of thi,, world show
a wonderful nicely of balance. 1t has
been suggested that another artificial
harbOr was needed here to place us
even with the rest of mankind as far
as commercial and manufacturing ia
cilities were concerned. 1t looks now
as though we should have one. Pa
pers were signed some days ago, that
obligates the writer, within eighteen
months, to have constructed sufficient
works to accommodate the largest
ships, in any season and under all
circumstances, and to complete the
job within five years.
Engineers of the highest ability
have determined that the plans are
according to the best known principles
of mechanics. 1t therefore only re-
mains to proceed with the execution
of the work. AS all large bodies are
supposed to move slowly, it may be
inferred that work of the magnitude
of this might take much longer time
for its completion. This, however, is
so simple and straightforward that a
child could calculate its approximate
termination. The form of caisson is
the section of an equilateral triangle,
of which all the sides measure only
$50 feet each in their largest dimen-
mensions. This is small hull, as
such matters go now, to handle. They
can be built anywhere on this coast,
partially filed, launched, then towed
to their destination and the filling
completed at leisure.
The year 1887 is propitious for car
rying forward enterprises of this kind
The spirit of the argonauts is reviving
and under such auspices,' work that
to ordinary estimation appears hercu-
lean in its proportions, dwindles down
to the commonplace. 1t is only a
matter of detail: So many carloads
of material; SO many tons of iron,
steel, rock, cement or asphaltum, and
SO many feet of lumber. The rest is
straight work.

OUR FARMING INTERESTS.

While in an industrial sense the South
is on a boom, it cannot be denied that
the agricultural interests are at a
standstill, if not actually retrograding.
The towns and cities are being built up
at the expense of the rural districts
and farmers as a class are falling be-
hind every year. Mines are developed
and manufactures built in every direc
ton, it is true, but agriculture-the
bedrock of the count1ys prosFeiicy-
is not keeping pace with these in
terests. Why is this? There is a cause
for it of course, and that cause lies in
the runious credit system-buying on
time at an enormous per cent. above
the actual value of what they get.
This is the outgrowth of the pernicious
one-crop idea-raising cotton or tobac-
CO and buying meat and bread. No
agriculture, certainly not in our section,
can stand this fearful strain. There is
no use trying to disguise the fact, and
the sooner the people become convin-
ced OF the true situation the sooner
they will 60 to work to bring about a
change. The Wilmington Star says
on this subject, and its remarks are
worthy of careful consideration:
Virg MIA, North Carolina, Georgia and
Texas are poorer than they were ten
years ago. The people are more
hardly pressed than they have been
since the first two years after peace was
declared. That is the testimony of
those who have the best opportunities
for knowing. There can be no solid
prosperity when the farmers do not
prosper. In North Carolina, we know,
that as class they are not prospecting.
AS long as mortgages are used to fer
tilize crops and cover lands; as long as
corn cribs are kept in the Northwest,
wheat fields in the same section, and
smoke houses in Cincinnati and Chi
cago; as long as money is SO high and
they are compelled to buy supplies at
from ten to twenty per cent. tn e.1eess
Of what they could buy them with the
cash; as long as cotton sells for eight
or nine cents Git is little higher now,
